Labor, that it will furnish the GLO and the Secretary of Labor such information as they
may require for the supervision of such compliance, and that it will otherwise assist the

nature of the alleged breach; (2) the amount Subrecipient seeks as damages; and (3) the
legal theory of recovery.
b. The chief administrative officer, or if designated in the Contract, another officer of the
GLO, shall examine the claim and any counterclaim and negotiate with Subrecipient in
an effort to resolve them. The negotiation must begin no later than the 120th day after the

Section 2260.052.
c. If the negotiation under paragraph (b) above results in the resolution of some disputed
issues by agreement or in a settlement, the Parties shall reduce the agreement or
settlement to writing and each Parry shall sign the agreement or settlement. A partial
settlement or resolution of a claim does not waive a Party's rights under this Contract as
to the parts of the claim that are not resolved.
d. If a claim is not entirely resolved under paragraph (b) above, on or before the 270th day
after the date the claim is filed with the GLO, unless the Parties agree in writing to an
extension of time, the Parties may agree to mediate a claim made under this dispute
resolution procedure. This dispute resolution procedure is Subrecipient's sole and
exclusive process for seeking a remedy for an alleged breach of contract by the GLO if
the Parties are unable to resolve their disputes as described in this section.
e. Nothing in the Contract shall be construed as a waiver of the state's or the GLO's
sovereign immunity, or, if applicable, the governmental immunity of Subrecipient. This
Contract shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of any of the privileges, rights,
defenses, remedies, or immunities available to the State of Texas or Subrecipient. The
failure to enforce, or any delay in the enforcement, of any privileges, rights, defenses,
remedies, or immunities available to the State of Texas or, if applicable, of Subrecipient
under this Contract or under applicable law shall not constitute a waiver of such
privileges, rights, defenses, remedies or immunities or be considered as a basis for
estoppel. The GLO does not waive any privileges, rights, defenses, or immunities
available to it by entering into this Contract or by its conduct, or by the conduct of any
representative of the GLO, prior to or subsequent to entering into this Contract.
Subrecipient does not waive any privileges, rights, defenses, or immunities available to it
by entering into this Contract or by its conduct, or by the conduct of any representative of
the Subrecipient, prior to or subsequent to entering into this Contract.
£ Except as otherwise provided by statute, rule, or regulation, compliance with the dispute
resolution process provided for in Texas Government Code, Chapter 2260, subchapter B
and incorporated by reference in subsection (a)-(d) above is a condition precedent to the
Subrecipient: (1) filing suit pursuant to Chapter 114 of the Civil Practices and Remedies
Code; or (2) initiating a contested case hearing pursuant to Subchapter C of Chapter 2260
of the Texas Government Code.
15. If Chapter 2271 of the Texas Government Code applies to this Contract, Subrecipient verifies

N. AFFORDABILITY PERIODS FOR SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSING REHABILITATION,
RECONSTRUCTION, OR NEW CONSTRUCTION ASSISTANCE
For single-family non -rental housing assistance provided by Subrecipient, Subrecipient shall
implement a minimum* three-year affordability period during which the homeowner must occupy the
home as a principal place of residence, guaranteed by an unsecured forgivable promissory note.
O. UNSECURED FORGIVABLE PROMISSORY NOTE ("NOTE")
Housing rehabilitation or reconstruction assistance provided by Subrecipient shall be in the form of a
three-year unsecured forgivable promissory note at an interest rate of zero -percent (0%). Provided
that all terms and conditions contained in the Note continue to be fulfilled, a Note will be forgiven
according to the following terms, as applicable, until the applicant fulfills their note requirement (the
requirements are defined in the promissory note document): at a rate of 33 percent per year for the
first two years, and 34 percent after the third year.
If the homeowner occupies the home for the full three-year term, the Note expires and no
repayment is required, nor will any conditions be imposed relative to the disposition of the
property. If any of the terms and conditions under which the assistance was provided are breached
or if the property is sold, leased, transferred or vacated by the homeowner for any consecutive
thirty (30) day period during the Note term, the repayment provisions of the Note shall be
enforced.
2. If, during the Note term, the homeowner vacates the unit for any consecutive thirty (30) day
period, the locality may forgive, as evidenced by the program director, city council, or
commissioner court action, the remaining loan balance. Prior to forgiveness of all or any portion
of the assistance provided, the request for forgiveness must be approved by the local governing
body and be based on documented and justifiable conditions or circumstances that would result in
an unnecessary hardship to the homeowner and, in the case of a limited clientele project, the
determination that the national objective of benefiting low to moderate -income persons was met.
3. For a limited clientele project, the national objective will be considered met only when the
program director, city council, or county commissioners court determines that a low- to
* Subrecipient may establish a longer affordability period at its own discretion.

moderate -income person has occupied the rehabilitated or reconstructed home for a time
sufficient to meet the national objective. If the national objective was not achieved, Subrecipient
is liable for repayment of an amount equal to the difference in the appraised value of the home
prior to reconstruction and the sales price when the home is sold during the term of the forgivable
Note.
4. If property assisted under a limited clientele project is sold or transferred to a person other than an
eligible LMI person, the remaining pro -rated balance of the Note must be repaid by Subrecipient
from the sales proceeds. Notwithstanding the preceding, Subrecipient shall be held liable for any
balance remaining over and above the sales proceeds. In all instances, upon completion of the
Note or repayment of the assistance (in full or in part), Subrecipient shall prepare and record a
release of lien document in the land records of the applicable county.
5. Monitoring of the Note is required both during and after the grant is closed. Subrecipient must
utilize non-CDBG funds to fulfill the monitoring obligations for its impacted recovered
community.
6. Subrecipient will maintain a list of homeowners that do not maintain flood insurance as
documented in their promissory note. These applicants will not be allowed to receive future
assistance as outlined in Section B of this document.
P. RENTAL HOUSING REHABILITATION, RECONSTRUCTION, OR NEW
CONSTRUCTION ASSISTANCE
Rental housing rehabilitation, reconstruction, or new construction assistance will be provided in the
form of a forgivable loan at zero interest or grant dependent on the applicable Federal Register notice,
Action Plan, or Housing Guidelines. Provided all terms and conditions under which the assistance

GLO Information Security Appendix
1. Definitions
"Breach of Securitv" means any unauthorized access of computerized data that compromises the
security, confidentiality, or integrity of GLO Data that is in the possession and/or control of
Subrecipient (or any entity with which Subrecipient shares GLO Data as authorized herein)
including data that is encrypted if the person accessing the data has the key required to decrypt
the data, or a loss of control, compromise, unauthorized disclosure or access, failure to physically
secure GLO Data or when unauthorized users access PII or SPI for an unauthorized purpose. The
term encompasses both suspected and confirmed incidents involving GLO Data which raise a
reasonable risk of harm to the GLO or an individual. A Breach of Security occurs regardless of
whether caused by a negligent or intentional act or omission on part of Subrecipient and/or
aforementioned entities.
"GLO Data" means any data or information, which includes PII and/or SPI as defined below,
collected, maintained, and/or created by the GLO, for the purpose of providing disaster
assistance to an individual, that Subrecipient obtains, accesses (via records, systems, or
otherwise), receives (from the GLO or on behalf of the GLO), or uses in the performance of the
Contract or any documents related thereto. GLO Data does not include other information that is
lawfully made available to Subrecipient through other sources.
"Personal Identifvin2 Information" or "PII" means information that alone, or in conjunction with
other information, identifies an individual as defined at Tex. Bus. & Corn Code Section
521.002(a)(1).
"Sensitive Personal Information" or "SPI" means the personal information identifying an
individual as defined at Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Section 521.002(a)(2).
All defined terms found in the Contract shall have the same force and effect, regardless of
capitalization.

related thereto strictly confidential.
2.2. Subrecipient shall comply with all applicable federal and state privacy and data
protection laws, as well as all other applicable regulations.
2.3. Subrecipient shall implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to
protect GLO Data that are no less rigorous than accepted industry practices including,
without limitation, the guidelines in the National Institute of Standards and Technology
("NIST") Cybersecurity Framework Version 1.1. All such safeguards shall comply with
applicable data protection and privacy laws. Subrecipient shall provide such
certification or attestation in regard to its data security practices as may be required by
the GLO upon request by the GLO.
2.4. Subrecipient will legally bind any contractor(s) and subcontractor(s) to the same
requirements stated herein and obligations stipulated in the Contract and documents
related thereto. Subrecipient shall ensure that the requirements stated herein are

maintain and, upon request, provide documentation of training completion.
2.7 Any GLO Data maintained or stored by Subrecipient or any contractor/subcontractor
must be stored on servers or other hardware located within the physical borders of the
United States and shall not be accessed outside of the United States.
2.8 Subrecipient shall require that all individuals allowed to access GLO Data pursuant to
this Contract sign a confidentiality and non -disclosure agreement ("NDA") before
being given access to GLO Data. At a minimum, the NDA shall inform all individuals
of the confidential nature of the GLO Data, the security and non -disclosure
requirements of this Contract, and the potential criminal penalties and civil remedies
specified in federal and state laws that may result from the unauthorized disclosure of
GLO Data. The NDA shall require all individuals to acknowledge that the GLO or the
United States government, including the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development ("HUD"), will seek any remedy available, including all administrative,
disciplinary, civil, or criminal action(s) or penalties, as appropriate, for any
unauthorized disclosure of GLO Data. Subrecipient shall provide the GLO copies of
any and all NDAs upon request or demand by the GLO.
2.9 Subrecipient shall use GLO Data for the sole purpose of administering the Contract.

GLO and/or (b) at the GLO's written request, destroy, uninstall, and/or remove all
copies of data in Subrecipient's possession or control and inform the GLO in writing of
the completion of the task and method(s) utilized. If the return of GLO Data is

Breach of Security without first obtaining GLO's prior written consent unless such
action is required by law or is limited to third party personnel that have a need to know
for the sole purpose of containing or remediating the Breach of Security or suspected
Breach of Security. However, while a third party may be informed of the Breach or
suspected Breach for the sole purpose of containing or remediating it, no GLO Data
shall be shared with such third party unless express written permission is obtained from
the GLO in accordance with Section 2.5. Subrecipient will legally bind such third party
to the same requirements stated herein and obligations stipulated in the Contract and
documents related thereto as soon as practicable upon securing such third party to
contain or remediate the Breach of Security or suspected Breach of Security.
5.6. Notwithstanding the remedies provided in the Contract, if a Breach of Security includes
SPI, Subrecipient shall notify affected individuals of such Breach in accordance with
the requirements of Tex. Bus. and Comm. Code Section 521.053 or other applicable
law and shall inform the GLO of such notifications. Subrecipient shall provide affected

state or federal agencies or entities, including, but not limited to, the U.S. Department
of Homeland Security, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and HUD, that
impose conditions and obligations on the usage, sharing, storage, and security of the
GLO Data. If, in the performance of the Contract, Subrecipient requires access to GLO
Data protected under such an agreement, then Subrecipient shall be required to review
and agree to comply with all terms, conditions, and obligations of the agreement before
the GLO Data is shared with Subrecipient. As applicable, Subrecipient shall ensure
any NDA required under Section 2.8, above, complies with all additional requirements
imposed by the agreement.
